Alexander's Empire.


The lecture by Rev. DR.. Hall al
Claiming hall, says The Boston Adver-
tiSer, treated upon the relation of the
Greek language TO the Hebrew scrip
lures. These scriptures, he says, were
gathered into the form substantially
in which they now exist during the life
time of Ezra, who was one of the most
eminent of the Hebrews, being a philo-
sopher and lawgiver as well as prophet.
He was born about 500 b. c., and
died about 459 b. G.
Contemporary with him appeared
several other religious and ethical
teachers of the highest rank. Accord
ing to one account, which is of good
credit, Zoroaster was living at some
time during the period thus indicated,
for it is stated that he was an instructor
of Cyrus, who invaded Assyria 53S b. G.
Socrates was born nine years before
Ezra died. Confucius died AIS b. 9.
Sakya Buddha, the last restorer of the
Buddhist religion was born AT b. c.
Aristotle. who was the teacher of Alex
ander the Great was also OF the same
epoch,
The career of Alexander the Great
was sketched by the lecturer, who re-
garded this conqueror as the providenti-
ally approved agent for opening COM
munication between the people OF west
ern Asia and Eastern Europe. Alex
ander's domainons comprised, eventu-
ally, Babylon, Palestine, and Egypt
among the eastern countries, Where
ever his sway extended Greek became
official and, in time, to great extent
the popular language. The military
highways which Alexander made and
the commerce he promoted were also
the means of making more intimate
with each other the people of Europe
and of Asia. He established the city
and port of Alexander, and from him it
derives its name. 1t became place of
literary as well as commercial import
ance.
In Alexandria the books of the He
brew scriptures were translated into
Greek, and thus were made accessible
to the scholars, and readers of the vast
empire which Alexander governed, and
1t was in this way that they first be-
came familiarity known to the native or
resident Greeks and eventually to the
Romans.
The characters of Alexander and Soc
rates were portrayed to some extent
by the lecturer, more especially Socrates,
of whom he spoke in terms of lauda-
ton. He suggested that the life of
Alexander and the life of Socrates
would each be a good subject for a
course of lectures, and remarked that
of Alexander there has never been a
biography written which is at all salts
factory or which makes use of all the
available material. Such biography
may once have existed in times nearly
contemporary, but if so it has been
lost.
Among the many interesting touches
made by the lecturer was that in which
he described Alexander's conquest of
Jerusalem, where he came as the
enemy of the Hebrews and departed as
their recognized friend.

Hint to the Ladies.

II is now very fashionable in many
eastern cities for the ladies to have
their photographs taken with hats on.
j. III. Webster, the ii. p. Photographer,
advises the ladies of Dallas to adopt
the hat style in photography, as most
every lady will make prettier pic
ture with hat, moreover it will save
YOU much trouble in the arrangement
of the hair and prevent the spelling of
many good pictures. Call at Web
ster's and try with hat on.
